How can you tell the difference between a bed sore or a pimple?

Area lesion is found: Bed sore is inflammed and may have drainage. Pimple may have head to it or sore center point.

Big Difference: Bedsores are caused by unrelieved pressure on the soft tissues overlying a bony area (sacrum, tailbone, buttocks, heels, etc.) . The damage starts deep (muscle, fat) and then becomes superficial. Pimple are skin problems and start superficial. They rarely go deep. Treatment of pressure sores is to get off the area. Pimples heal with topical treatment and sometimes antibiotics.
